Creole Seafood Stew

2 Tbsp. olive oil
1# Seafood Blend (I like Trader Joe's mix of shrimp, calamari, and scallops)
1# Langostine tails (Trader Joe's)
1# cooked Andouille sausage (you can substitute any type of sausage you prefer, this can also be omitted)
1 (15oz) can diced tomatoes with juice
1 medium sweet onion, small dice
3 celery ribs, small dice
1 green bell pepper, small dice
1/2C. White wine
1 Tbsp. tomato paste
1C. Clam juice
3 cloves garlic, peeled and minced
1 Tbsp. each of dried oregano, basil, paprika, and thyme
1 tsp. cayenne pepper
1 bay leaf
Kosher salt and fresh cracked black pepper, to taste

In a large heavy bottomed pot heat oil over medium high heat.  Once oil is shimmering; add onions, celery, and bell peppers.  Cook until they start to soften, about 4-5 minutes.  Add garlic, cook another minute.  Add tomato paste, stir and cook for about 2-3 minutes.  Add wine and clam juice, reduce by a third.  Add diced tomatoes with juice and bay leaf.  Heat to just under a boil.  Reduce heat to medium and add seafood blend and spices.  Cook until shrimps are just done, about 5-6 minutes, stirring occasionally.  Add sausage and langostine tails, stir and correct seasoning with salt and pepper.  Continue to cook slowly for 8-10 minutes.  Serve over rice and enjoy!
